About Thermochemical calorie per cubic centimetre
The thermochemical calorie per cubic centimetre (cal(th)/cm³) equals exactly 4.184 × 10⁶ J/m³ (1 cal(th) = 4.184 J; 1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³). The CGS energy density unit used extensively in older chemistry, explosives research, and combustion science for solid and liquid fuels. Numerically equal to kcal(th)/L. 1 cal(th)/cm³ = 4.184 MJ/m³.
About Gigajoule per cubic metre
The gigajoule per cubic metre (GJ/m³) equals exactly 10⁹ J/m³. Used for the energy density of high-energy-density materials and liquefied fuels: LNG ≈ 22.2 GJ/m³, liquid hydrogen ≈ 8.49 GJ/m³, petrol ≈ 34.2 GJ/m³. Also useful for large-scale thermal energy storage reservoirs. 1 GJ/m³ = 10³ MJ/m³ = 10⁹ J/m³.
